I’m still curious, when they say it represents ‘southern pride’ what does that pride stand for? Being rednecks? High teen pregnancy rates? Losing a war? Being traitors? Being un-Americans? Assassinating a president? Being racists? Being slave owners?

Some do, those that actually have some understanding of the history of the region, a three state solution seems most likely to slow down the full blown civil war. The Kurds up in the north, the Shia in the east, and the Sunni/ISIS in the west. It is already how the battle lines are drawn. Knowing that is the first step of understanding why this war is stupid, the Shia do not care to fight for Sunni land, the Sunni that don’t happen to be with ISIS don’t have any representation in the Shia government which is part of what started this mess, and the Kurds just want their north region and like the Shia, don’t care for land that they don’t see as theirs.

So yes, there isn’t a will to fight, because they aren’t imperialistic A-holes like our warmongers, they’ll holds their historic borders but why throw away their lives for land they don’t see as theirs?
